Couple things to know first:

There's basically two eras of my anime viewing history: Genesis and Renaissance.

Genesis was like age 6-11 when I watched dubbed shows made to sell toys on Cartoon Network like Pokemon, Bakugan, etc. (and a couple episodes of Naruto somehow) without knowing these shows were originally Japanese. Those kinds of shows are listed, but if I haven't rewatched them since the Renaissance, I'm not going to even attempt to give a numerical rating based off feelings I think I had over a decade ago.

I fell off the radar for a bit with anime then heard about a cool show and since 2015, I've pretty much watched an unbroken string of shows, movies, and OVAs to the point where I'm subjecting myself to week-to-week viewings, god forbid.

That show I saw when I was 14 was called SAO and it sounded like the coolest concept ever; if you died in the game you died in real life and I was just getting into RPGs and it was animation but edgy but not like the way South Park was edgy and it had girls with boobies and it was basically the perfect storm to get me interested in anime. However, upon half a decade of reflection, it's probably not the greatest show to ever air and I changed my score. Basically, my scores and reviews are organic and change all the time. But unless I do a lot of thinking about a show or rewatch it, that score was the original one I put down.


10 - Struck a deep personal connection with me in some way. That, or has a single moment that is so standout that the entire experience is then incredible.

9 - Excellent, the cream of the crop in terms of their craft and my enjoyment.

8 - Pretty awesome.

7 - A few things hold it back, but overall a really enjoyable experience.

6 - Solid, but doesn't really have any standout elements.

5 - Fine, just not particularly interesting or memorable.

4 - Maybe this is like a kids show that isn't particularly insulting, but it's just so geared towards the demographic that there isn't that much to garner from as an adult. Either way it's pretty eh.

3 - Starting to really dip in quality. At this point there are elements that I begin to find insulting.

2 - Really REALLY bad, but just a step above the worst stuff you can find.

1 - The bottom of the barrel, the most garbage, throwaway nonsense you can find. Absolutely appalling.
